I am having a hard time getting used to the viewport for checking oil on my GL1100. I have to put the bike on the center stand, stand on my head, hold a flashlight with one hand, a screwdriver with the other, squint, and peer into shadow and see if I can see what my oil level is.
My oil doesn't show in the window? Is it too full (above the full line) or too low (below the quart-low line). With a dipstick, I'd be able to tell, but with the window, it is a mystery.
I see in the JCWhitney catalog an aftermarket dipstick assembly that hangs off the front of the bike. I wonder -- has anybody here tried it and how do you like it?
